Swiss M1918 Schmidt Rubin Bayonet by Elsener (Victorinox). Description Double-edged spear-pointed blade, wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets to the exposed tang, crossbar hilt with muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, steel scabbard with frog hook and leather frog strap, leather frog with buckle. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with &#acute;ELSENER SCHWYZ&#acute;. Karl Elsener was a Swiss knifemaker who opened his own factory in the village of Ibach in the Swiss canton of Schwyz in 1884 making knives and surgical instruments, including military contracts. He invented the Swiss Army Knife in 1891 and later renamed the company Victorinox, which still makes knives in Isbach to this day, run by his great-grandson. The old name indicates that this is a pre-1950 example. The hilt is stamped on one side with the serial number &#acute;55659&#acute;. Its lobe quillon is stamped on the blade side with a small Swiss cross and a circle. The rear side of the leather frog is stamped with several marks faint from rubbing, including a square cartouche (which would have contained a letter but this is too faint to make out), the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;____BUHE REINACH / BASEL&#acute; - this would have been a saddlery/leatherwork firm contracted to produce the frog, based in the town of Reinach in the canton of Basel at the northern edge of Switzerland - and &#acute;44&#acute;, probably an item number. This bayonet fits the M1911 (K11) and M1931 (K31) rifles and the M41, M43, M41/44 and M43/44 submachine guns. Some tiny spots of patination to the blade, no edge damage, track marks from sheathing and drawing. Likewise some spots of light patination to the hilt, tang and pommel. The wood grips have a few very light dents. The blued finish of the scabbard has worn in places exposing bright steel, particularly where it rubs against the frog, that section not visible without disassembly.

Australian L1A2 Bayonet for the SLR. Description Straight single fullered blade with clipped Bowie point. Steel hilt with muzzle ring, sheet steel slab grips secured by two rivets around concealed tang. Steel pommel with locking button, steel scabbard with domed circular frog stud. The L1A2 bayonet was developed in Britain for the SLR rifle (the Commonwealth version of the Belgian FAL) in parallel with the L1A1 bayonet. The A1 and A2 were effectively just alternate versions, with the only difference being the means of attaching the pommel. Both designs were approved on the same date in 1957 and Britain chose to produce the L1A1 while Australia and Canada adopted the L1A2. The Canadian version, which they referred to as the C1, can be distinguished by its various Canadian markings, while the Australian L1A2 bears no markings whatsoever. The Australian bayonets were produced at the Lithgow plant from 1958 to around 1984. Until around 1962 they had squared fullers, this example has the post-1962 rounded fullers instead. All parts of the bayonet have a matt phosphated finish. This has some bright spots of wear on raised edges where steel is exposed. The scabbard has some scratches and areas of patination. Some rust on and around one of the grip rivets.

Argentine Type A Knife Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Spear-pointed knife blade with partial false edge. Blade 7Â¾ inches in length, the bayonet 12Â½ inches overall. Steel hilt with muzzle ring and integral flash-hider prongs, ribbed black plastic grip scales held by two screws, exposed tang, steel pommel. Steel scabbard with throat piece and oval frog stud, green nylon canvas frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is stamped on the pommel with the serial number &#acute;03697&#acute;. The scabbard body is stamped with the serial number &#acute;41897&#acute;, slightly obscured by paint. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the knife model with distinctive flash-hider &#acute;prongs&#acute; on its muzzle ring was the &#acute;Type A&#acute; bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. Its blade was based upon the US M4. This was used side by side with the tubular &#acute;Type C&#acute; model, which was introduced when a 22mm muzzle device was added to the FAL in 1962. The scabbards are not interchangeable between Types, the blades being of different shapes. Belt frogs for these bayonets are made of either green leather or nylon fabric: the &#acute;Correaje Argentino de Cuero&#acute; (Argentine Leather Belting) load-bearing system was introduced around 1970, but incorporated some preexisting elements including leather frogs and pistol holsters, which were then painted green to match. The nylon &#acute;Correaje Tempex&#acute; (Tempex Belting) was introduced in the early 1980s to replace it which included a new frog. Both forms of load-bearing system were still in use by 1982 so both were carried in the Falklands. Either frog will fit either Type of bayonet. After Argentine forces surrendered to the British on June 14 1982 their small arms were piled up by the thousand in the Islands&#acute; capital Port Stanley, where most Argentine forces had been deployed or driven back to. A large quantity of arms had also been captured earlier at Goose Green, which was a key ammunition dump for the Argentine forces, and still more were gathered later from unengaged Argentine garrisons on the island of West Falkland. The FAL rifles became British government property and were either brought to the UK or dumped at sea, while bayonets and the short machete-like officer&#acute;s sidearms frequently became personal trophies or souvenirs for British soldiers as they would not be illegal to own in civilian life. This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The blade is very sharp with visible grinding marks, some undulation to its true edge which suggests that nicks or chips have been partly sharpened out. The tip has rounded, the sharpening runs right up to it but with no attempt to repoint. Some frosting and small spots of light patination. The hilt and scabbard retain most of their original black paint, especially where the scabbard was protected by its frog, some chipping to the paint on edges and raised areas like the frog stud exposing steel with some rust spots. The pommel and tang have a heavy grey patina. The plastic grips have only light handling wear and one small (7mm) scrape on one side. The frog has some heavy patination to its steel and brass, very minor fray to the nylon at the top corners but no loss of integrity, its buttons work and frog hook moves freely.

Argentine Type C Socket Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Tubular steel one-piece bayonet with flash ports and spear-pointed blade with semicircular profile. Blade length 6Â½ inches (16.5cm), 11 3/8 inches (28.9cm) overall. Black plastic scabbard with eyelet chape, circular frog stud and steel throat piece, green nylon frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is faintly stamped on the blade with the serial number &#acute;01-76943&#acute;. The scabbard is unmarked. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the tubular model was the &#acute;Type C&#acute;, compatible with later models of the FAL (post 1962) which had a 22mm muzzle device. This was used side by side with the &#acute;Type A&#acute; knife bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. The scabbards are not interchangeable between Types, the blades being of different shapes. Belt frogs for these bayonets are made of either green leather or nylon fabric: the &#acute;Correaje Argentino de Cuero&#acute; (Argentine Leather Belting) load-bearing system was introduced around 1970, but incorporated some preexisting elements including leather frogs and pistol holsters, which were then painted green to match.

This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The bayonet retains some of its original blued finish, with some wear and rust spotting to the socket. The blade is free of rust, protected by its scabbard, with some wear to the tip. The locking catch of the bayonet and the frog stud & throat piece of the scabbard have some wear to their black lacquer. Minor rubbing and scratching to the plastic scabbard body and belt grip. Light rust to some of the scabbard rivets and wire hanger.

South African Lee Enfield No. 9 Bayonet, With Uzi Blade. Description These bayonets were manufactured in South Africa by ARMSCOR or one of its contractors during the 1960s, using spare blades originally made by FN Herstal for the Uzi submachine gun: unfullered with a spear point and diamond profile. They were issued with the Lee Enfield No. 4 rifle to local defense groups collectively called the Commando System. These military reservists/militia were formally part of the Army but typically deployed as part of police actions, acting to secure more remote areas or where the police needed reinforcement. This example is complete with its South African pattern brown leather frog with buckled retaining strap and brass rivets. The bayonet retains its original blued finish with no edge damage, the scabbard is free of dents with only tiny spots of wear to its black lacquer.

Portuguese M1886 Kropatschek Bayonet by Steyr. Description Single-fullered &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade with spear point, steel cross hilt with straight lower quillon & circular finial, and upper quillon projecting from the muzzle ring. Brown wood slab grips riveted to the exposed tang, steel pommel with locking button, plain steel scabbard with frog hook. Blade 18Â½ inches in length, the bayonet 23Â½ inches overall. No maker&#acute;s mark to the spine of the blade “ it may have been removed by polishing. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a clover-shaped Portuguese inspection mark. The hilt is stamped faintly on one side with &#acute;another clover inspection mark and on the other side with &#acute;J668&#acute;. The exposed tang is stamped with &#acute;7&#acute;. The throat of the scabbard is stamped with &#acute;NN63F&#acute;. The frog stud of the scabbard is faintly marked &#acute;WG&#acute;, a Steyr factory mark. The M1886 Kropatschek rifle proved to be reliable and had a long service life - while it was replaced by the 1904 Mauser in the Portuguese army it was used by colonial units in WW1, issued to the Portuguese Legion during the Spanish Civil War, and was still in use by colonial police as late as the 1960s. Its bayonet was one of the last to make use of the &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade.

Taiwan M1 Garand Rifle Bayonet. Circa 1950. #2410021. After its split with China in 1949, American firearms became the staple of the Taiwanese infantry, particularly the M1 Garand rifle and M1 carbine. This bayonet is a 1950s Taiwanese variant of the WW2 American M1 Garand rifle bayonet. It is identical to the American model except for the ricasso markings.The 250mm single-edged blade has a deep single fuller and a flat spine that terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in excellent condition and retains its original black finish.The ricasso is stamped with the Taiwanese manufacture roundel and 60-6 KS.The blackened crosspiece and pommel are in good condition, retaining their original finish, and the press stud mechanism is in good working order. The black plastic grips are in good condition and are secured firmly.The bayonet is complete with its American M1 scabbard. The scabbard is of WW2 vintage and was probably suppled along with an M1 rifle and bayonet, that was subsequently replaced with a newly made model. The US markings have been removed from the scabbard locket, probably by the Americans prior to export to Taiwan, as the provision of arms to the newly estranged island was initially quite clandestine.This is a good example of a historically significant Taiwanese Mi Garand rifle bayonet, produced in the early years of Taiwan’s independence from China.

German WW1 Trench Knife. Nahkampfmesser. #2511006. German WW1 nahkampfmesser, meaning “close combat knife,” come in a variety of similar styles and by various makers. Most have a steel scabbard with a leather belt loop and retaining strap. These knives were usually private purchase items – as was the case with the allied forces, and many are without maker’s marks.The 137mm single-edged blade has a 70mm upper false edge that is sharpened for the last 40mm. The blade has a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The blade retains its fighting edge and is in used/worn condition with some cleaned, shallow pitting and sharpening wear. This knife has had an active life.The hardwood grip scales are in good condition and are secured to the full width tang by three rivets.The knife is complete with a WW2 Hitler Youth or Scout scabbard, which may just be a convenient replacement, but may also indicate that the knife saw service again during WW2, a hand-down from father to son perhaps? The scabbard is in good condition and retains most of its original black paint.This is a worn and honest German WW1 fighting knife.

Indian 1907 Pattern Mk III Bayonet, by Ishapore. Description Plain unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, squared pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with iron throat and chape, khaki canvas frog. The bayonet is stamped on one side at the ricasso with the Tudor Crown, also known as the Imperial Crown for its use throughout the British Empire, &#acute;G.R.I&#acute; (Georgius Rex Imperator, meaning George VI, who was the last Emperor of India until its independence in 1947), &#acute;MkII&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;10 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in October 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. It is stamped on the other side with Indian inspection marks. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;97&#acute;. The scabbard leather is faintly stamped &#acute;43&#acute;, indicating that it was manufactured at around the same time. The reverse of the canvas frog has been written on with &#acute;HEGGIE&#acute;. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, but the stamp shows &#acute;MkII&#acute;. Incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets, as well as failing to add stamps for conversions, factory repairs and so on. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. The scabbard is noticeably longer than it needs to be for the bayonet “ it is a full-length No.1 model. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade has some grinding marks from manufacture, and one small area of cleaned pitting toward the tip on one side. Small areas of patination to the hilt, hilt and pommel largely retain their original finish. Some small dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only small bumps and abrasions to its surface. Some storage grease may remain in the scabbard.
